(Back in time)

A - Wow looks cozy.

Akerian said as he looked around the newly renovated bakery. Kaia chuckled as he proudly looked at his shop. It was supposed to be only him but Akerian being the nosy bastard he was, decided to come along. The locksmith finally gave Kaia the key after installing the lock on the door entrance and now all that's left is for the bakery to finally start baking.

A - So you're leaving?

K - hm... I found an apartment close by here so I'll move in, in the next few days. I'll need to start packing.

Hearing this Akerian was happy. Now he won't have the chance to run into his brother or Yui when he goes to meet Kaia. He was humming to himself as he began to think of all the time he was going to visit Kaia.

K - What're you humming about?

A - oh nothing!..... Hey hey...

K - What?

A - Can I be there on your opening day? I wanna be your first customer.

K - .....Why?

A - why not? I helped you rebuild this place.

Kaia looked at him all offended. Did he have the audacity to just say he helped him? Was what Kaia thought.

K - excuse me? You didn't do anything you just followed me like a puppy and nothing else.

A - what are you talking about? Puppies are cute so I'm helping you with my cuteness.

Kaia was so done with this man. He didn't know why but lately this redhead has been following him around. He just shows up and hang out with him. Kaia felt pity he thought this man had never had a friend and after Yui broke his heart Kaia just thought he was using him to try and get back with him.

When Akerian saw that Kaia was looking at him all pity and upset somehow he got the feeling that his cuteness to trap Kaia backfired.

A - What're you thinking? Don't give me that look.

K - ..... nothing you do you.

A - hey! I feel like you thought something of me that's not very good. Hey!

Kaia walked out of the bakery as Akerian followed him out.

A - So.... You're gonna move out the day after tomorrow?

K - um

A - okay I'll come help out.

Akerian said as he dropped Kaia home. He watched the figure walked into the apartment building.

*******
Skyler was on a phone call as Kaia was watching the TV. And now he was completely mooching off of this long haired guy. Although Skyler was in the mafia he distanced himself from the criminal activities that the gang usually do. He only joined it when he was young as a means to survive but now that he was in too deep he couldn't just leave so one could say he was stuck there.

Kaia was looking at some drama, munching some chips and a whole ice cream bucket nearby. He was too comfortable to be a captive that he completely forgot he was.

On the other hand.....

S - (on the call) *sigh..... I'll return soon so keep me updated.

With that he ended the call. The handsome man had an upset look. Things didn't go as planned due to the interference of the police.

That night Julian didn't come alone. He already called the police and was on standby. When things escalated Yui suddenly grabbed the gun from the table and shot him. He knew the intention was to kill but because Yui's hands were trembling he was lucky the bullet hit his arm instead. After that the shooting between the police and his gang happened and Julian was able to take Yui out with him safely.

Right now the police became aware that there's a mafia gang here so his movements were restricted.

Things weren't so good back home either. David's wife fell ill due to a heart condition that she had and was on the verge of death in the hospital. This meant that his God daughter was going to become an orphan. And Skyler wasn't gonna let that happen, he was going to be there for the kid in place of her father.

Another matter was that a rival gang was cooking up trouble in their area so the Big Boss was calling him back.

Skyler sighed as all of this dumped on him. He turned to look at the man on the couch watching TV as if it's so natural. Seriously did this guy forget he was kidnapped here or something.

Finally Skyler just quietly walked up and sat on the couch next to Kaia and watched the drama together.

K - Chips?

Kaia asked while his eyes were still glued to the TV.

S - oh thanks.....

K - then go get one. Mine's almost over so get me one too..... Oh and some juice too. I like the apple one.

S - .......
